my problem is that I want to do this in the tasks/main.yml of a certain role. It seems it is not possible to define vars on the same level as the tasks: - vars: - file: /tmp/zb - link: blip.stat.exists and blip.stat.islink - name: bepaal stat van file {{file}} stat: path={{file}} register: blip - name: is exists true? when: blip.stat.exists debug: msg="blip.stat.isdir exists" Obviously this syntax is not OK (ERROR: vars is not a legal parameter in an Ansible task or handler). Because I want to do this to enhance readability, the only solution I see for now, moving it to the playbook itself, is not much of a good idea. Is it possible to have var definition in the role file itself in some way? regards, Ruud -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
